SCIOTO A flicker of light can perhaps be seen at the end of a months-long tunnel in the county’s battle against the coronavirus.
The virus, which has taken the lives of 39 Scioto residents and caused economic and mental health distress, has possibly met its match with the arrival of vaccines starting next week. According to a release from the Scioto County Emergency Management Agency on Friday, that day could come as early as Monday, Dec. 21.
Portsmouth City Health Commissioner Chris Smith, returning from military service, filled-in Portsmouth City Council on the latest of getting the vaccines to the area.
